    That is why all of my stuff is black. I do not have to worry about all this silly matching stuff :smiley:

    But black is not the color I want to run in when it's 90-100°. I have one nice black reflective Nike tank and I don't think I've ever worn it. Maybe when it gets down in the 60-70's I will. :wink: oh and when I get out before sunrise. :tongue:

    I think I drew the line last week at a light purple shirt with red-orange shorts and pumpkin orange socks.

    Amazingly my black heat gear cools me better than anything else I have ever owned. Stuff is incredible that way.

    I'll keep that in mind. Maybe try it out.

    @hanlonsk I don't think any of your outfits didn't match! Congratulations on that snow run, WOW! We never have more than a dusting, but do get quite a bit of ice.

    Am I the only person that didn't know this?

    Heel Lock

    I'd been doing that, but on my marathon a week ago, it made one of my shoes too tight, and it hurt a lot. I couldn't retie it because my fingers were numb. Now I've got a sore lump there.

    It was weird, because my heel was almost coming out of my shoe when I walked at the start.

    Feet are freaky.

    Thats awesome @r_babin ! Enjoy your massage @NikolaosKey , sounds like you need it!

    @Orphia when I ran Edmonton last month I actually had a lady approach me pre-race and asked me to help her heel lock her shoes because "I looked like I'd know". Not entirely sure what that even meant but I definitely had no idea what she was talking about and I felt so bad for her!


    September 1- 23
    September 2- 60
    September 3- 30
    September 4- 20.6

    133.6/600km

    @JessicaMcB I never heard it call "heel lock" - everyone around here seems to call it "runner's knot" so even though I know how to do it, I would not have been able to help her either.

    Welcome @humpbax! I'm not a morning person either. I just suffer through the afternoon heat. I'm also afraid of the dark, ish.. I really should work on that.
